and registered 2,509 students, breaking last year’s record enrollment. A busy and productive summer on campus!

s I start my 14th year

Aat Wayne College and assume the role of Interim

Dean, I can’t help but reflect

on all the changes and accomplishments that have

occurred since my first fall
The Office of Academic Affairs, now

under the leadership of Colleen Teague as InterimAssociate Dean, launched 440+ class

sections and welcomed 160 adjunct faculty to our classrooms. The Office of Continuing

Education and Workforce Development continues to reach out and offer corporate

training and workforce development programming on campus as well as in

business settings across our tri-county area and beyond. Our credit and noncredit programs are focused on education and career success, and, in turn, the economic

health and growth of our community. Please know that through your affiliation and support, you join us in that important work.
The new Saturday MBA program

launched on August 27. There are 24

students enrolled between Wayne College and the Medina County University Center. The program will toggle between the two campuses, one campus with a live instructor

for the day, the other receiving instruction via DistanceLearning(DL)technology.It’sgreat

to partner with the UA College of Business

Administration to bring this program to our

community. The newly established “nursing pathway collaboration” between the Wayne County Schools Career Center, Stark State College, The University of Akron College

of Nursing, and Wayne College is bringing

a number of new students to our campus this fall. The partnership with Stark State College that brings the Massage Therapy associate degree and certificate program to Wayne started a new cohort of students

outreach...the list goes on and on. Many of you have been affiliated with Wayne College even longer than I. Regardless of how long you have been a member of “the family,” I invite you

to make a point to visit the College and take a stroll around our beautiful campus and take in the vitality and promise of both our physical

surroundings and the people with whom we share our mission. Reflect on the importance of what we do here—and the mission that each

and every one of our staff, faculty, donors,

and friends contributes to—helping students

achieve their educational goals and dreams, and in doing that, improving the quality of their life, their family’s life, and the life of their, and our,

community. The University of Akron Wayne College is a special place—and a successful and vibrant place—thanks to you.

Through the unprecedented rains of June, the heat of July, and beautiful blue-sky days of August, in the midst of our classes and

other summer activities, a great deal of work

on the grounds and physical plant took place. The main entrance to the academic building

was refreshed with paint and stain of the barn wood, and the flat roofs on our building were

insulated and sealed. We upgraded or added

new technology to several classrooms and

computer labs. We hosted approximately 35

orientations for new students over the summer

(making a total of 52 sessions since last spring),

this fall; the founding cohort will complete their degrees this spring. And, the Bachelor of Organizational Supervision program and the Walsh 3+1 business degree program both have very strong

enrollments.

One of the major themes we hope to promote across college events and activities this year is “Diversity.” The Community Outreach and Student Activities staff are working collaboratively on

programs for both our college community and student body, and the

greater community, as well. It’s an exciting theme—I invite you to be

a part of these activities this year.

• Leadership Orrville

Leadership Orrville is an initiative of the Orrville Area Chamber of

Commerce. Several Wayne College employees have participated in this

experience over the past decade and have shared their thoughts here.

What surprised you the most about your experience in Leadership Orrville?

The sense of camaraderie and pride in Orrville and its continued success. I really developed a deeper appreciation of the people and the organizations in Orrville and the LO experience made me feel a part of this wonderful extended family community. – Nan Whitsel

Wayne College is pleased to announce that future issues of Insight will be available in an email format for those who prefer less paper in their lives.
There are many reasons to switch to a paperless newsletter, both for subscribers and for the College. First and foremost, there’s less environmental impact with a paperless newsletter, and that’s good for everyone! It also cuts down on clutter, saves the College money (which can be allocated elsewhere), and increases our ability to offer

The plans for the new road that will provide additional access and exit to and from our campus continue to move forward. At present the construction start target is next spring. This will greatly

enhance our landscape and visibility to the community.

The diverse disciplines represented within the group…That, and how Smucker ’ s m akes those little packages of jelly that end up on restaurant tables all over the globe!  – John Lorson

One last note: In August we received notice of the final approval

by the Higher Learning Commission for our continued accreditation

for the next 10 years. This is the maximum term of accreditation possible and it signifies the confidence of the HLC in our current practices as well as our plans for the future. You share in this major accomplishment with us. Please know that The University of Akron Wayne College is very proud of the partners we engage with— whether institutions, businesses, agencies, or individuals. We value your support and hope that you will share in the excitement of a great 2011-12 year!

As someone who works in Orrville but does not live here, LO gave me exceptional insight into the Orrville community. Each session included information and tours of local businesses and organizations,

which helped the class see how our work fits into the overall picture.

over 100 seats filled. As was the case last fall, we’re especially pleased with the

fact that many of these students are either

new freshman (both traditional and nontraditional), or first year Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program (PSEOP) students. If history holds true, we’ll see

most of those students return to the center for at least another semester and, depending upon our mix of course offerings, possibly

another year as well! This fall we’ve seen a nice uptick in PSEOP students arriving from West Holmes High School, which we find particularly gratifying as we’ve

been making an extra effort to reach that

market. Ideally, those students will choose to continue on with both Wayne College and The University of Akron. The Holmes

County Higher Education Center provides

an ideal segue into The University of

Akron family in a market region that has not traditionally looked in our direction.

HCHEC will once again serve as an

ACT test site for each of the national test

dates. The facility has always filled quickly

for each of these dates and has served us

well in terms of exposure, as many of the

test-takers are actually visiting the Center

for the first time when they arrive for the

exam.

In fiscal year 2011, the office provided training and related services to over 3,400 individuals and 110 businesses. The two major growth areas for OCEWD in the last year have been in the areas of career pathways and certificate programs for adults, and testing and assessment services. With these two growth areas, the office

has also been able to maintain strong partnerships in our business and industry training services even through these economically challenging times.

OCEWD was a recipient of a $66,700 Workforce Innovation Solutions Grant from
The Ohio Skills Bank/Ohio Board of Regents in fiscal year 2011. The office identified a critical training need in the area of network security. There is a shortage of trained workers in the area of cyber and network security because of the increased demand for

trained technicians by the federal government, government contractors and companies

trying to protect large complex systems. Many small and mid-sized firms have trouble attracting these skilled workers, so the need to train existing workers has become critical. The funds allowed 38 individuals to be trained from 22 area companies. In addition to addressing critical training gaps, the intention of the grant was also to allow existing workers to move up in the company, which could open additional entry-level positions.
The office annually has over 50 contracts with 30 companies, mainly in Ohio, but

over the last several years has expanded to other states. Our services are providing

customized solutions addressing critical training and related services in areas including leadership development, sales and customer service training, LEAN/Six Sigma consulting, survey design and administration, technical writing, ethics and compliance

training, and talent management.

Testing and assessments services continued to see growth again last year. There was a significant increase of 75% in employer testing from the previous year. Many of our local companies, especially in the second half of 2011, are hiring new workers. Organizations are wanting and requiring more tools to manage their talent, whether it is for selection, development, performance or succession planning. The office’s Testing and Assessment Center is a member of the University System of Ohio Talent Development Network, a statewide network of two-year colleges, university branch campuses and career centers providing products and services through partnerships with national and international human capital development organizations.
